borgraf is spot on - assigning DVD-RB only 1 CPU does stop it munching so much CPU but subsequent CCE jobs launched by DVD-RB have CCE assigned 1 CPU aswell. This is even worse than letting DVD-RB use both CPUs as encoding speed is halved.

I don't quite understand why DVD-RB needs any CPU during encoding - what is it actually doing? I use the Big3 a lot and DoCCE4U/BatchCCEws send jobs to CCE without consuming any CPU time at all. I am aware that jdobbs has an AMD so can't really test this properly and this probably isn't anwhere near the top of the list of bugs to fix but in the mean time would it be possible to have a check-box which HT users can enable to stop DVD-RB doing whatever its doing while CCE is going?

On a better note, whatever jdobbs changed between 0.44 and 0.46 has fixed my error #0004s!!
